Hi,
We switched over our mortgage to NIB some months ago to a tracker mortgage. With the recent hikes in interest rates, I had expected to receive some sort of notification from NIB to tell me what the new rate is and what the increase in repayments is. I received nothing. I attempted to ring my branch, but was put through to a central customer service office. The lady I spoke to hadn't a clue what the procedure is or if any documentation is sent to the customers. She couldn't/wouldn't put me through to the person that I was dealing with in my local branch. Instead all she could do was send this person an email to ask them to contact me. (Are all their processes this convoluted???) I'm not holding out for that phone call.
Anyway, surely, there's an obligation on the bank to tell you that your repayments have increased?? How else would I know to increase the amount of money I put into the servicing account to meet these new higher repayments. What's going on?
